Using Phar Archives: the phar stream wrapper
The Phar stream wrapper fully supports fopen() for read and write (not append),
unlink(), stat(),
fstat(), fseek(),
rename() and directory stream operations
opendir() and as of version 2.0.0,
rmdir() and mkdir().
Individual file compression and per-file metadata
can also be manipulated in a Phar archive using stream
contexts:
<?php
$context = stream_context_create(array('phar' =>
array('compress' => Phar::GZ)),
array('metadata' => array('user' => 'cellog')));
file_put_contents('phar://my.phar/somefile.php', 0, $context);
?>The phar stream wrapper does not operate
on remote files, and cannot operate on remote files, and so is
allowed even when the allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include INI options are disabled.
Although it is possible to create phar archives
from scratch just using stream operations, it is best to use the
functionality built into the Phar class. The stream wrapper is best
used for read-only operations.
